Again, I don't normally do reviews for post-NCG games, but because this is Abu Zaid's (and potentially Shy's) final match, I've done up a quick summary of the tesimonial.
This centre-back from Bangi (the most happening suburb in the world!!!) is well-known for his courage, passion and determination to win the ball. His style of play is based on lots of running, one can say he believes in the art of attacking defense (i.e dominating the opposition striker instead of the other way round).
Fellow teammates describe him as a carbon copy of myself. I think he's possibly better, because he's much more determined, and has absolutely no fear. Vital values for a centre back.
While he does have his forgettable moments (Goals scored = -2), overall he has done a great service to Queensland. We wish him all the best in future endeavours, and thank you for all your unrelenting efforts on the field.
Game review
This week's game was against Blackstar Roasters. Last match ended in defeat (1-2), so we're pretty keen on avenging that.
Being the first game in Ramadhan, we were mindful of conserving our energy, and converting any limited chances we had. We got some extra help from the non-Muslims i.e the Harolds who offered fresh legs and energy.
1st half
First half started with a flyer. Got two early goals: After being fouled outside the penalty area, a well-placed freekick from Apit put the side in the lead (1-0). It got better when we got another one in, courtesy of Zaril's weighted through pass, volleyed in by Black. 2-0. Half-time.
2nd half
Second half was an affair to forget. Started brightly when Abu's 15-minute cameo almost resulted in a goal - Left footed shot missing the post by inches. After that, we lost shape and gave momentum to the opposition.
They scored from a corner, and followed up with a thunderous shot from Rafael Marchetti a.k.a Kaki Besi. 2-2, and the score remained that way till the final minute. Menghampakan. Dahlah dua2 gol time aku main. Felt a bit gutted not being able to send off Abu with a win, sungguh menghampakan.
Maybe it was the fatigue from fasting, maybe it was changing too many players at once instead of doing them gradually (tapi kami masih menghargai sumbangan anda the Harolds!) Or maybe it was our own goalkicks that keep putting us on the backfoot. Whatever it is, this is definitely one that got away. Nasib baik tak kalah. Apa2 hal I hope we can do better this Sunday.
Player-player cemerlang:
1) Abu Zaid - Scintilating performance for a clean sheet first half. Memberikan 100% dan hampir dianugerahkan dengan sebiji gol yang bermakna.
2) Shy - Numerous saves to keep the opposition at bay. Sorry about the 2 goals mate.
3) Black - Volley kencang menjaringkan gol, dan rembatan first time mengena tiang. Looked dangerous.
We've only got 6 more games to go:
- Madtongsan (3-3, 2-5) - Sunday ni, tak sure pukul berapa yet.
- Axis of Evil (0-3, 0-3)
- Gurkha x 2 (5-1)
- Latino (1-0, 0-1)
- Blackstar Roasters (1-2, 2-2)
All of them are winnable. Would be nice to finish on a high note.
